3. License Fees and Payment; Expenses. In consideration for the License granted under this
Agreement, Vendor agrees to pay to BLC® listing service the license fees and other fees described on the

4. Display Servers. All Display Servers, if applicable, shall be under the direct control and
supervision of Vendor. In the event any person or entity, except Vendor, has any control over, responsibility
for, or access to the Display Server (a “SubVendor”), Vendor shall enter into a written agreement with the
SubVendor obligating the SubVendor to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. BLC®
listing service shall be an express third party beneficiary of any such agreement.
5. Compliance with Standards.
a. Vendor agrees to be bound by and comply with all of the terms and conditions of the
Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards, including maintaining, as applicable, the
Display Media, and, if applicable, Display Servers, in accordance with the Technology Standards and Display
Standards. With respect to the Display Standards, Vendor shall ensure that any display of Licensed Listings,
and each Participant or Sales Licensee, is in compliance with the terms of the Display Standards. Vendor shall
not cause the display of any Licensed Listings to be inconsistent with the terms of the Display Standards, and
Vendor shall not facilitate any noncompliance with the terms of the Display Standards, Technology Standards,
Access Standards, or this Agreement, by any third party, including a Participant or Sales Licensee, the host or
creator, or a party involved in publication or distribution of the Display Media, as applicable.
b. The Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards may include terms
and limitations in addition to or inconsistent with those set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any such
inconsistency, the terms of the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards will govern.
Vendor acknowledges that BLC® listing service may modify the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and
Display Standards at any time, in its sole discretion. BLC® listing service agrees to deliver to Vendor, and each
Participant notice of any modification to the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards.
In the event any material modification to the Access Standards, Technology Standards, or Display Standards is
unacceptable to Vendor or a Participant, Vendor may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 22.b
of this Agreement, or Participant may cause BLC® listing service to terminate this Agreement, or the display of
Licensed Listings on a particular Participant/Sales Licensee Website, or on the Vendor Website or use or
display of the Licensed Listings in connection with the Print Media/Syndication, as applicable, and in
accordance with Section 22.c of this Agreement.
c. Vendor shall immediately notify BLC® listing service of any failure to comply with the
Access Standards, Technology Standards, or Display Standards of which it becomes aware, including by any
Participant or Sales Licensee, and including any actual or attempted material unauthorized access to or
download or use of the Licensed Listings. Upon the occurrence of any such event or action, Vendor shall take
all steps necessary, and cooperate with BLC® listing service in every way requested by BLC® listing service,
to remedy and prevent the continuation or recurrence of such actions or event, including with respect to any
litigation or other proceeding, as deemed necessary by BLC® listing service.
6. Means of Access to Licensed Listings. Access by Vendor to the Licensed Listings shall be
exclusively through RETS Download, as set forth in the Access Standards and Technology Standards. BLC®
listing service may, in its sole discretion and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Vendor, change the
means and nature of accessing the Licensed Listings.
7. Changes to BLC® listing service’s Server. BLC® listing service shall not be obligated to make
any changes to BLC® listing service’s Server, including any software running on BLC® listing service’s
Server, the configuration, applicable protocols, or any other aspect of BLC® listing service’s Server for any
August 19, 2013 Page 4
reason, including changes which Vendor believes may be necessary to facilitate access to the Licensed Listings.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, BLC® listing service may, at any time, modify or replace BLC® listing service’s
Server, in its sole discretion, and Vendor understands that a modification of BLC® listing service’s Server may
require changes to any applicable websites, including Websites, hardware, software, or configurations to
provide for access to the Licensed Listings. BLC® listing service makes no representations or warranties with
respect to the response time for access to the Licensed Listings. Vendor acknowledge that BLC® listing
service’s Server, together with access to the Licensed Listings may from time-to-time be unavailable to Vendor,
whether because of technical failures or interruptions, intentional downtime for service or changes to BLC®
listing service’s Server, or otherwise. Vendor agrees that any modification of BLC® listing service’s Server,
and any interruption or unavailability of access to BLC® listing service’s Server, or access to or use of the
Licensed Listings shall not constitute a default under this Agreement, and that BLC® listing service shall have
no liability of any nature to Vendor for any such modifications, interruptions, unavailability, or failure of
access.
8. Intellectual Property. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that the Database and the Licensed
Listings are proprietary, original works of authorship of BLC® listing service, or licensed to BLC® listing
service, protected under United States copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws of general
applicability. Vendor further acknowledges and agrees that all right, title, and interest in and to the Database
and Licensed Listings, together with all modifications, enhancements, and derivative works of the Database,
including all copyright rights, are and shall remain with BLC® listing service. Notwithstanding the prohibition
against modification of the Database, in the event Vendor makes any such modification, then any modifications
to the Database, shall be the sole property of BLC® listing service. Vendor hereby assigns to BLC® listing
service any and all modifications to the Database made by Vendor, or anyone within the control of Vendor.
Vendor agrees to execute all documents and take all action reasonably requested by BLC® listing service in
connection with the assignment of rights to BLC® listing service. This Agreement does not convey or grant to
Vendor an interest in or to the Database or Licensed Listings, but only a limited right to access and display the
Licensed Listings, revocable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any claim for
infringement or misappropriation of the Database or Licensed Listings, all damages awarded and other awards
and recoveries shall be the exclusive property of BLC® listing service, and all such amounts shall be paid to
BLC® listing service. In the event, for any reason, Vendor obtains possession or control of any such damages
or awards, Vendor agrees to hold all such funds as trustee in trust for the exclusive benefit of BLC® listing
service. Vendor agrees that it will not challenge or take any action inconsistent with BLC® listing service’s
rights to the Database or Licensed Listings.
9. Trademarks. BLC® listing service grants to Vendor a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license
to use the trademark identified on the attached Schedule B as a trademark available to vendors for the purpose
of identifying BLC® listing service as the source of the Licensed Listings (“BLC® listing service Trademark”).
Any use of the BLC® listing service Trademark shall be solely for the purpose of identifying BLC® listing
service as the source of the Licensed Listings, used exactly in the form displayed on Schedule B, and shall be
used strictly in accordance with the applicable terms of the Display Standards. The license granted under this
Section 9 of this Agreement may be terminated at any time by BLC® listing service, in its sole discretion, upon
ten (10) days notice. Vendor agrees and acknowledges that the license of the BLC® listing service Trademark
is made without any representations or warranties of any kind or nature. BLC® listing service does not make
any representations or warranties regarding title to the BLC® listing service Trademark, the rights of any other
persons or entities to the BLC® listing service Trademark, or with regard to the enforceability of any rights to
the BLC® listing service Trademark. Except as provided in this Section 9 of this Agreement, no other right is
granted to Vendor under this Agreement with respect to any trademarks of BLC® listing service. Vendor
August 19, 2013 Page 5
agrees that it shall not use any trademarks of BLC® listing service, or any marks that are confusingly similar,
assert any right, license, or interest with respect to any trademarks of BLC® listing service, or represent or
suggest any affiliation between BLC® listing service and Vendor. Vendor agrees that it will not file any
applications or assert any rights to any of BLC® listing service’s trademarks in the United States, or any other
country or territory.

such party in accordance with its terms; (b) the execution of this Agreement and/or the performance of such

bound; and (c) Vendor is not and shall not be under any disability, restriction or prohibition related to the
execution of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Vendor further

of the Licensed Listings, including the Participant’s Listings of a particular Participant, on any particular
Website or use in connection with Print Media/Syndication for a period of up to thirty (30) days upon the
occurrence of any default by Vendor, or the occurrence of any event which BLC® listing service believes may

Licensee, or Brokerage Firm to pay any License Fees owing to BLC® listing service under this Agreement.
BLC® listing service shall provide Vendor and the Participant with written notice of suspension of the License
within three (3) days following the first day of suspension. Nothing under this Section 21 of this Agreement

that if, in the reasonable discretion of BLC® listing service, the default by Vendor or Participant could result in
irreparable harm to BLC® listing service, BLC® listing service may terminate this Agreement without prior
written notice, if notice of such termination is delivered to Vendor and Participant within ten (10) days of

Vendor agree to reasonably cooperate with each other for the purpose of transitioning display of the Licensed
Listings by another third party vendor pursuant to a separate license agreement between BLC® listing service
and another vendor, and BLC® listing service agrees to continue to allow Vendor to access and display the
Licensed Listings during the Transition Period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. During
the Transition Period, all terms of this Agreement shall continue in effect.
f. No License Fees, or portion of the License Fees, or other fees payable by Vendor under
